I watched this movie a couple of times as a kid and for some reason, I remember this scene in particular. I don't know why, but it shocked me. Every time I hear Non, je ne regret rien, I think of this scene, and I get chills tingling down my spine.
+Rachel G I can't believe I found this, When ever I heard that song I was triggered to seeing images of fire, clowns, animals and for some reason a cartoon chameleon. I was haunted by this scene, it's good to get closure.
When I was little I watched this movie and every single time I watched it I cried.. And just yesterday I finished watching the first movie and I loved it I don't know which one to love more.. I have never watched the first movie ever til yesterday
When I was a kid, I must have watched this movie around 50 times, but I never understood. It was just visually appealing to me and my siblings. I need to rewatch it now to understand wtf was going on.
As a child, this scene made me sad, but as an adult it makes me even sadder. Forget about him being a clown, just you gotta think, he was doing well and then... Well you can see the absolute devastation on his face as his livelihood literally goes up in flames. I mean, the sets probably weren't cheap, he probably gets work from word of mouth and you know now he won't be getting any from them, and then he probably had to pay for damages. So then, he goes home and eats his feelings, and literally eats himself to death. It breaks my heart. Makes me cry every time.
those sets probably have sentimental value also.... notice how it reads "Fabulous Flooms"as in more then one.... those were probably his parent's or grandparent's sets......... its actually really sad but crime doesn't pay obviously
@Gioan Bitch-ass uncle Fugly... 🤣 Though, seriously, now...what he did was obviously an act of desperation. And desperation makes people do stupid things. As a clown who performs with animals, he should've definitely known better than most that taking an untrained pig and using it for an act...won't go as planned. It won't know what to do. The apes know, because they're trained to perform. It was his own miscalculation that lead to his failure, heartbreak and subsequent death. Not Babe's mistake. I say "miscalculation", because it was more of a poor judgement and less of a deception. It wasn't nice of him, sure, but he obviously didn't mean for Esme to get in trouble. Ideally, he thought he'd "borrow" Babe without her permission, then send her on a wild goose chase around town, have her wander until she goes back to the hotel, then return the pig and tell her that he or his niece found it. Everyone's happy, no one's hurt. Surprise...it didn't work out that way.
@Gioan I don't think that would be a plausible scenario. Why? His niece - that's why. There's an earlier scene where she calls to him and says "there's been a theft upstairs", where Fugly lies to Mrs. Hoggett about the pig's whereabouts. Miss Floom is the proprietress. She should know that besides the three of them...there aren't any other people in the hotel. So unless she did it or Esme Hoggett stole from herself somehow...the only other "suspect" is her uncle. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure that out. I don't think she thought...a ninja climbed up onto the roof and rappelled down through the window in Esme's room, stealing the pig and the suitcase, then rappelling back out. I guess she knew Fugly would pull off something like that and was covering for him. However, in that same scene, Mrs. Hoggett suggests they should call the police, but Miss Floom refuses, as the hotel would get in deep trouble, to which Esme replies "I can't go home without the pig". If Fugly got the stupid idea that he could keep the pig indefinitely, there is no way, regardless of whether his niece suspected it or not (even if she didn't, he wouldn't be able to hide the pig from her), that she would let him do such a thing. Because Esme is staying for two days, and if her pig doesn't show up, she could go "Okay, I'm calling the police. This pig means a lot to my husband. I'm sorry. It went missing in your hotel, on your watch, you couldn't find it - neither could I." Miss Floom is very protective of the animal sanctuary she's built. She would be "the voice of reason" that would tell her crazy uncle that whatever they could gain from using the pig for acts, it would just not be worth the trouble they could get in if the police gets involved because a guest's pet went missing and she couldn't find it. Whereas, if the pig disappeared for a while, during which time Fugly used it for an act, all went well, then the pig was returned to the owner, as if nothing happened, Esme would have no reason to call the police. It's one thing to "borrow" the pig, without permission, for one act, then say it was lost and found, and another - to outright steal it and decide to keep it.
For a kid’s movie, this film deals with some very deep adult material. This scene is one of the best examples. Adults don’t usually talk to kids about sickness or death or grief until they are forced to. This is a mistake, I think, because a child’s heart can easily be shattered if they are not prepared for it a little in advance. It will be devastating no matter what, but at least a child can be prepared for it a little in advance so that when it does happen, they have some reinforcement because it’s not as likely to take them by surprise. Don’t let them live in a complete fantasy, where everything is puppy dogs and rainbows all the time, because it can break them if they are forced to suddenly wake up from that dream. Give them reality in small doses gradually, so they can someday deal with it.
@@emiliobello2538 here’s a minor one, I wish they’d spent more time on: Loss. The character played by Mickey Rooney is rushed to a hospital and dies off-screen, and although I never really cared for him because of the trouble he causes for Mrs. Hoggitt, the Farmer’s wife. However, he definitely left a deep impression with his niece, the hotel owner, and with the orangutan Thelonius. Thelonius spends a great deal of the film being impartial, and kind’ve pompous. But this death clearly shakes him to his very core. “I couldn’t wake him, I tried. He wouldn’t wake up.” And silence as he watches the ambulance leaving. That affected me even as a child. Now, as an adult, I’ve lost several people I cared about. So I know the feeling Thelonius feels. A mixture of grief and a startled comprehension that someone who’s always been here for you is now gone and nothing will be the same.
This scene is definitely weird, but this is not the entire film. As a kid, there were many plot details and references that flew over my head, but I still loved the film because the animals could talk, and the film is full of all different kinds of animals. It’s like visiting the zoo without actually going.
Every time I hear “non, je ne regrette rien”, it’s in a hospital setting. In this movie, it’s featured earlier after Babe says “sorry, boss”, and then in this scene. I also heard in Madagascar 3
According to a source somewhere in the multiverse he got a boner during the show from wearing the suit and was already going to die of embarrassment. The sets blowing up didn't help. No one saw this because the pants were too thick. When the medics found him he was still hard as a rock and he had passed out with potato salad all over his face. They could have just took him to the hospital for no reason and his death was faked 😂
It turns out he had Type 2 Diabetes. Did you see the amount of sweets, chocolate and ice cream he had when we first saw him? He ate so much that it made him worse to the point, it killed him
Even as a kid I thought this was the most depressing scene in any children's movie ever. Not even the funny final showdown scene at the end of the movie can make recover from this.
I adore this film. Any production for children that presents devastation and melancholy with such respect and style will always have my absolute approval.
This film is a work of art in the highest possible way. I get instant goosebumps whenever i watch this film and tears just swell up. This film deserved so much more
This scene made me cry as a child now I caught it by coincidence running on the TV and 😢 I could barely hold on to the tears. It really was a heartbreaking scene, I think it's what I remember the most from the movie.
Thank you, when I heard the sad news I immediately thought of this great scene. When I couldn't find it I decided I had to put it together myself and post it.
Attic Pictures For me the first movie and second movies were great. At first I wasn't a big fan of the second movie, but when I started watching it occasionally again and again, I really liked it, and I give the second movie an excellent rating, but I am definently going to give the first movie a superior rating. The only movie I can't stand trying to watch again is Click cause it put me in depression (still does).
What makes the scene even sadder is a detail that's not easy to catch at a first glance: the writing on the set says "The fabulous FloomS": I assume that it means he worked his whole life alongside his wife who then passed away, and he kept doing that by his own, so when he sees it burn is like his last memories of her are fading away :,( Always loved the subtle depth of this fine work from George Miller, I think it never got even remotely close to the recognition it deserves.
Thats really well put words there. Its taken me 20 years to realise that and I feel a sense of guilt at not noticing that as a kid. As a kid (if you don't have a fear of clowns) you take this scene on board for granted without realising the more subtle background and story. Which now as an adult I appreciate more
Every George Miller movie has a whole bunch of small and sometimes invisible subplots scattered through the main plot, that don't connect directly to it but they contribute to strengthen the climax and the theme of the movie. It's such an extravagant and unique way of making movies. The matter with Pig: Babe in the city is that it came out in a moment when everybody expected a sequel very close to the heartwarming atmospheres of the first one, and they were really weirded out to find the same dynamics of the Mad Max trilogy in it. Nowadays, since Miller made a modern masterpiece such as Mad Max: Fury Road and the new generations are more familiar with his style, this gem would really deserve to be brought back to attention.
I see what you mean, the similar Mad Max elements here. I first watched this film at age 9, really liked it then and still do now at age 30. But I really appreciate the film alot more now than as a kid when just taking the film for granted. Its just a shame how the film has become somewhat underrated and not as appreciated as it really should be
Oh, the symbolism is so thick, you can put butter and caviar on it. The very character's NAME - Fugly Floom. "Fugly" means ugly and somewhat weird. In the first scene he's in, where he's not wearing the costume - he looks like he's let himself go. "Floom"...I'm pretty sure is a hybrid of the words "FLOwer" and "bLOOM". His niece wears three different outfits in the movie - a one-piece dress with a knit sweater on top of that, which has floral ornamentation on it, the white gown we see in the video, with a wine-red jacket on top, which has a rose on its left lapel, and the outfit she wears while riding a bike in the final scene of the movie, which has a floral print. Fugly's clown suit also has rose ornamentation on it. This can't be a coincidence - it's a very deliberate symbolism.
When first seeing this I had no idea who he really was. Until a few years later I watched a couple more films recognizing him, then looked him up and realised he was a true Hollywood legend of his time and a very early child actor. I was truly amazed how much of a great legendary actor he was. RIP Mickey Rooney
I used to think Floom went to the hospital because of the incident at his act, but then I learned he went to the hospital because he had diabetes... Also worth of note is E.G. Daily, the voice of Tommy Pickles and Buttercup, voiced Babe here.
The part from 2:52 onward is, by far, my favourite part of the movie, and possibly one of my favourite scenes in film, period. The scene composition, the weight of the situation on the characters, the way they interact with each other, the looks on their faces and the way they talk, it all conveys so much in such a short period of time. Babe's silent retreat as he realizes what he inadvertently caused, Thelonius' vigil at the window at the light streaming through, Easy's naive, childish ignorance of death AGH everything is so good! I tell you, Saving Private Ryan should have won Best Picture at the '99 Oscars, but this film should have taken Shakespeare In Love's nomination
My five favorite movies of all time: 1. Gilliam's "Brazil." 2. Burton's "Batman Returns." 3. Miller's "Babe: Pig in the City." 4. Tornatore's "Cinema Paradiso." 5. Gilliam's "12 Monkeys." They all have a high "disturbing" factor going on.
I just spent 2 hours trying to find this scene because me and my gf were talking about another tv show going in slow motion with a French song being sung. Finally after two hours I was able to reach back in my memory and find it
So many memories are coming back at once! I was obsessed with this movie as a kid. Didnt the orangutan becomes an alcoholic after his owner’s death? Or was it the monkey dad who was already an alcoholic? Its been so long! I need to find it and watch it again!!
this vídeo should be renamed "how to ruin the chilhood of an ill child in one minute" just try to see this from the point of view of the children, orphans or ill whatever they where just having a fun time to make happy memories for the future, a simple noble cause by the nurses and Mr Clown itself but that happines suddendly turns into fear and maybe trauma btw great movie
I watched this film aged 9 and was never scared of clowns unlike many. At first I didn't take any notice of this scene, that the clown was the then legendary actor Mickey Rooney until many years later. I have so much great respect for the late but great Hollywood legend RIP
George Miller: "Not only did we have grand plans for Mickey Rooney to sport wheels for legs, but much to our dismay, he adamantly rejected the meticulously crafted prosthetics that the dedicated prop master (Paul Matthews) had prepared months prior."
I remember watching this with my 3 year old daughter she is 14 now.... but it really has some sort of pull on me especially this part I don't know why this is but anyway God bless you Mickey Rooney and sleep tight.❤
This scene is a little different in the Latin American release, as Non Je Ne Regrette Rien plays as the image of Babe fades into black, instead shows the scene of Esme getting onto the police truck as she is arrested
Okay, the landlady is hands down my favorite character in the movie. She's so enigmatic. Her behavior when she meets Mrs. Hoggett and "acts mad" for the neighbors - she looks around to see if they're watching. She has a very nasal voice and wipes her nose with a handkerchief - likely due to an allergy from all the animals living there. Place is kept pretty pristine - she must be the one keeping it that way (as someone who's had, at one point, three big dogs in a relatively small apartment, I can tell you - it's not easy). When Fugly gets wheeled out by the paramedics, and she sees Thelonius and softly whimpers, before heading out, she does not utter A WORD in the whole scene. Yet her facial expressions, along with her sad, beautiful blue eyes, tell you everything. Her uncle's in a food coma, he's old and might die (which he does), and she knows that the apes, much like herself, will miss him. Also, notice the way she looks up at 2:10. She doesn't want to leave this place unattended. Animals, much like children, should not be left alone at home. But she must - she has no other choice. There's no one to help her. Esme is the only patron at the hotel and she's nowhere to be seen (because she got arrested), and her uncle...well, he's the very reason she must leave. Had this movie been better received by the public, I would've watched a spin-off with this chick as the main character in a heartbeat 😎
As a kid, I always thought it was sad how the primates loose their owner, but I never realized Babe got the idea that Esme didn't return because she may have died too. 💔
This is not a movie for kids to watch, I watched it when I was 5 and it gave me a lot of emotions, I felt sad after watching this and now I see it has a very dark side, a work of art definitely, but for a kid to watch this is very cruel, it has a scene of a dog drowning and other that makes you thing that a dog that is disabled (the dog had wheels to walk) passed away.
I watched this movie a couple of times as a kid and for some reason, I remember this scene in particular. I don't know why, but it shocked me. Every time I hear Non, je ne regret rien, I think of this scene, and I get chills tingling down my spine.
fidelcanojr A circus act gone wrong......
Omg same i always remember this scene and freaked out as a kid
Same
WTF ME TOO
Same, it’s kind of scary lol.
this scene FREAKED ME OUT as a kid. I only saw this movie once and I still remember the creeps this part gave me.
+Rachel G Oh definitely. I never understood what was happening when I was little but the way everything was shot just made me feel very uncomfortable.
Same

I can't believe I found this, When ever I heard that song I was triggered to seeing images of fire, clowns, animals and for some reason a cartoon chameleon. I was haunted by this scene, it's good to get closure.
omg i had the same thing i was crying so hard
Same !!
This movie is a goddamn work of art. It got destroyed by the critics at the time it was released, but totally unfairly so.
It's a very underrated movie and the imagery is just insane! George Miller really knows how to make a film so emotional and weirdly nostalgic...
what? no, the movie was praised by Siskel and Ebert
Why did the critics hate this wonderful movie so much?
doobiesmoke15 Probably because it's much darker than the first film. That scene with the two dogs still scares me to this day
When I was little I watched this movie and every single time I watched it I cried.. And just yesterday I finished watching the first movie and I loved it I don't know which one to love more.. I have never watched the first movie ever til yesterday
I remember this movie being utterly insane when I watched it as a kid
It still is utterly insane. Also it's amazing.
I forgot how dark this movie was. I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid. No wonder I have such a love for dark things.
I was literally just thinking that! Remember the well accident scene at the beginning! Brutal!
When I was a kid, I must have watched this movie around 50 times, but I never understood. It was just visually appealing to me and my siblings. I need to rewatch it now to understand wtf was going on.
This scene scarred me as a kid, I always started crying, I can't hear that song the same without getting all depressed xD
omg me too! I was always so scared. That and the part where the little dog with wheels flies off the road and presumably dies
OMG, It happened to me two, it was horrible!! but now i laugh thinking about how such a simple thing could make me cry
As a child, this scene made me sad, but as an adult it makes me even sadder. Forget about him being a clown, just you gotta think, he was doing well and then... Well you can see the absolute devastation on his face as his livelihood literally goes up in flames.

@H exactly. That's what you get when you take something that doesn't belong to you use it for something it's not supposed to be used for.
How do you know he ate himself to death?
THIS SCENE MADE ME SAD AND SCARED AT THE EXACT SAME TIME
when i was a kid , in this part i was just crying zo hard , i felt so bad for the clown ....
he was in a flashback during the chase scene
Job Rigters sameee lol

For a kid’s movie, this film deals with some very deep adult material. This scene is one of the best examples. Adults don’t usually talk to kids about sickness or death or grief until they are forced to. This is a mistake, I think, because a child’s heart can easily be shattered if they are not prepared for it a little in advance. It will be devastating no matter what, but at least a child can be prepared for it a little in advance so that when it does happen, they have some reinforcement because it’s not as likely to take them by surprise. Don’t let them live in a complete fantasy, where everything is puppy dogs and rainbows all the time, because it can break them if they are forced to suddenly wake up from that dream.

Jason Horowitz A circus act gone wrong......
It's just so bittersweet that Fugly came to the hospital to entertain patients one day then became one the next.😢
and tragically, he didnt survive, even felt hard when the actor was no longer in this world
Cause of death was food coma
How do you all know he didnt survive? And why did he go to the hospital?
According to a source somewhere in the multiverse he got a boner during the show from wearing the suit and was already going to die of embarrassment. The sets blowing up didn't help. No one saw this because the pants were too thick.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MICKEY ROONEY.
A true Hollywood Legend
Someday people will realize this is a (great) Mad Max movie, right down to the fades to black, and the oxygen mask on Mickey Rooney's painted face.
this is Mad Max for youngsters, for sure.
Just watch the Raid scene. Lots of Mad-Max-esque costumes.

Also worth of note is E.G. Daily, the voice of Tommy Pickles and Buttercup, voiced Babe here.
Also of note that the VA behind Chuckie voiced Babe before. RIP.
***** A circus act gone wrong......
***** I thought he killed himself.
Also of note that the author Dick King-Smith passed away in 2011
wileyk209zback E.G. Daily is also a very good singer.
When I was a little kid I would always cry during the scene. I felt bad for Babe, the clown, and the monkeys 😰
Mike wasaskie
Same J Rod
as a baby this film felt like a fever dream to me, still does 😂
this is one of the scenes make more impact on me as a kid, man, i just notice this was the legendary Mickey Rooney!
0:49 (CRYING) 😭😭😭😭
The part from 2:52 onward is, by far, my favourite part of the movie, and possibly one of my favourite scenes in film, period. The scene composition, the weight of the situation on the characters, the way they interact with each other, the looks on their faces and the way they talk, it all conveys so much in such a short period of time. Babe's silent retreat as he realizes what he inadvertently caused, Thelonius' vigil at the window at the light streaming through, Easy's naive, childish ignorance of death AGH everything is so good! I tell you, Saving Private Ryan should have won Best Picture at the '99 Oscars, but this film should have taken Shakespeare In Love's nomination
I watched this a million times when I was younger and I kept crying becaude what happenes to Mickey Rooney show
God, this movie's so underrated
My five favorite movies of all time:
1. Gilliam's "Brazil."
2. Burton's "Batman Returns."
3. Miller's "Babe: Pig in the City."
4. Tornatore's "Cinema Paradiso."
5. Gilliam's "12 Monkeys."
They all have a high "disturbing" factor going on.
MarciCow that’s an unusual top 5 list but to each their own right 😂
2:21 the landlady’s heartbroken 💔 and 3:12 thelonius is heartbroken 💔💔💔💔 too
This clown used to traumatize me as a kid ugh i hate clowns
This movie taught me about life before I even knew it.
I’m randomly getting recommend clips from this movie and man, I feel so validated knowing that y’all also found this terrifying
i remember watch Babe pig in the city i love it
I just spent 2 hours trying to find this scene because me and my gf were talking about another tv show going in slow motion with a French song being sung. Finally after two hours I was able to reach back in my memory and find it
So many memories are coming back at once! I was obsessed with this movie as a kid.
Didnt the orangutan becomes an alcoholic after his owner’s death? Or was it the monkey dad who was already an alcoholic?
Its been so long! I need to find it and watch it again!!
It was the Chimp dad
1:40 Miss Floom’s Uncle has heart attack
No, it's Diabetes
According to one scene, he is carrying jars upon jars of "sugary junk" not even insulin could save him
Omg this is my childhood!
Me to
RIP Mickey Rooney 🌺
this scene gave me vivid nightmares, but in a good way. I'll never forget Edith Piath in the echoes of my head.
this vídeo should be renamed
"how to ruin the chilhood of an ill child in one minute"
just try to see this from the point of view of the children, orphans or ill whatever they where just having a fun time to make happy memories for the future, a simple noble cause by the nurses and Mr Clown itself but that happines suddendly turns into fear and maybe trauma
btw great movie
Rest in peace Mickey Rooney
RIP Mickey Rooney (1920-2014)
Brilliant music, everywhere.
As a French I'm very proud that an Édith Piaf's song is in a world known movie. Also with the Symphony 3 by Camille St-Saëns. Wonderful movien❤
I have no shame in saying that this may be my favorite movie of all time
That song, that scene, so depressing, in fact the whole movie was downright depressing imho
I watched this film aged 9 and was never scared of clowns unlike many. At first I didn't take any notice of this scene, that the clown was the then legendary actor Mickey Rooney until many years later. I have so much great respect for the late but great Hollywood legend RIP
0:33 😭😭😭😭 (CRYING)
Look what Babe done.
@@josephzielinski8817😭😭😭😭 (CRYING) Yes. I know that.
“Non, je ne regrette rien” was also sung in Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted. Seems to be typecasted for hospital settings
This is sad 😢 he's forced to watch his livelihood light up in flame's.
George Miller: "Not only did we have grand plans for Mickey Rooney to sport wheels for legs, but much to our dismay, he adamantly rejected the meticulously crafted prosthetics that the dedicated prop master (Paul Matthews) had prepared months prior."
Where did he say that at?
I remember watching this with my 3 year old daughter she is 14 now.... but it really has some sort of pull on me especially this part I don't know why this is but anyway God bless you Mickey Rooney and sleep tight.❤
This scared me as a kid, couldn’t watch this film was terrified ahah
watching this movie is like a fever dream.
This scene is a little different in the Latin American release, as Non Je Ne Regrette Rien plays as the image of Babe fades into black, instead shows the scene of Esme getting onto the police truck as she is arrested
That actually does happen in the film
Okay, the landlady is hands down my favorite character in the movie. She's so enigmatic.
Her behavior when she meets Mrs. Hoggett and "acts mad" for the neighbors - she looks around to see if they're watching.
She has a very nasal voice and wipes her nose with a handkerchief - likely due to an allergy from all the animals living there.
Place is kept pretty pristine - she must be the one keeping it that way (as someone who's had, at one point, three big dogs in a relatively small apartment, I can tell you - it's not easy).
When Fugly gets wheeled out by the paramedics, and she sees Thelonius and softly whimpers, before heading out, she does not utter A WORD in the whole scene. Yet her facial expressions, along with her sad, beautiful blue eyes, tell you everything. Her uncle's in a food coma, he's old and might die (which he does), and she knows that the apes, much like herself, will miss him. Also, notice the way she looks up at 2:10. She doesn't want to leave this place unattended. Animals, much like children, should not be left alone at home. But she must - she has no other choice. There's no one to help her. Esme is the only patron at the hotel and she's nowhere to be seen (because she got arrested), and her uncle...well, he's the very reason she must leave.
Had this movie been better received by the public, I would've watched a spin-off with this chick as the main character in a heartbeat 😎
Great analysis of the scene, she was my favorite character too
Edith piaf and babe..masterpiece
Rooney (Fugly Floom)
Hoskins (Eddie Valiant)
and now Williams (Lovelace and Ramon)
Where is my childhood going to?
Despite their deaths I would retain my childhood by honouring the actors
This scene made me terrified of public venues as a kid because I thought I'd burn alive in a fire.
Nightmare fuel
When i was a kid. I watched this movie about 100+ times
1:21: “Oh shit..... I have no insurance”
Here’s a fun fact: the voice actor for Babe in this movie also voiced Tommy in Rugrats and Buttercup in the Powerpuff Girls.
And this is why I never wanted to go to the circus as a kid *shudders*
Mickey Rooney was one of the longest lived actors
A true Hollywood legend
I remember this.
RIP Mickey Rooney 1920-2014
(BABE GRUNTING, YELLING)
Every time this song plays it reminds me of this scene now
This scene always distressed me as a kid, even though I didn't really understand what was happening
When he fell down where did all the glitter cone from that fell all over his face? Looks like it came out of the clown suit
this movie traumatized me as a kid. but I still love it
I feel so bad for the clown, the music that plays is so odd and this scene is just stuck in my head and freaks me out.
2:25 - 2:40
Who ever knew that an orangutan climbing up an indoor balcony could be made so powerful?
What's the song called
RIP Mickey Rooney
God I remember this clearly And i haven’t seen this in like 15 years. Such a weird movie
Why the hell am I crying
Same question I had
In memory of Mickey Rooney
As a kid, I always thought it was sad how the primates loose their owner, but I never realized Babe got the idea that Esme didn't return because she may have died too. 💔
This movie is pretty dark when i was a kid now it still is
Is that just Mrs. Hoggett in that clown costume?
ISTG THIS SCENE SPOOKED ME
Everytime I think of this song I only imagine jellow on a car now 🤣😂
Esse filme e essa música lembra muito a minha infância! Como dito abaixo, é quase impossível ouvir essa música e não me sentir nostálgica rs
Como é o nome dela pfv
this is kinda depressing lol RIP Mickey Rooney!
carson11100 RIP Glenne Headly too
Arte puro esa escena! Es perfecta
Personally, this is nostalgia in it's highest form
This is not a movie for kids to watch, I watched it when I was 5 and it gave me a lot of emotions, I felt sad after watching this and now I see it has a very dark side, a work of art definitely, but for a kid to watch this is very cruel, it has a scene of a dog drowning and other that makes you thing that a dog that is disabled (the dog had wheels to walk) passed away.
Think*
